Once you have decided what to call your new company, Xenith will verify the name has not already been registered under another company and is available for use.

You will need some personal information for each 'officer' of your new company:
Full name
Nationality
Occupation
Date of birth
Town of birth
Full address
Mother's maiden name

You will also need to decide:
The role or combination of roles each 'officer' will play in the company (director, secretary, shareholder)
the number of shares they will be allocated

No, you do not need to be a UK individual to be a director of a limited company.

Directors are designated to run a business.

Directors are accountable for running a business legally and also attempting to make it effective. They need to comply with business regulations, make choices for the firm's advantage, file documents, and ensure to  document precise financial accounts.

Once you have formed a new company the details you provide will be forwarded on to HM Revenue and Customs. HMRC will then generate a UTR or Unique Tax Reference number for your company. You will be notified of this number within 2-4 weeks of the incorporation date. HMRC will write a letter (CT41) to the registered office address of all new companies to ensure their records are accurate on confirmation of which the UTR number can be supplied.
